For fisheries to develop it is necessary to provide basic facilities, while, it is believed that these are primarily of the private sector, some may be promoted to develop with ministry support.

• The ministry must promote the development of safe fishery landing sites, especially for the artisanal sector. Rescue and first aid facilities should be provided where appropriate.
• The ministry will ensure that fish quality standards are met. This may require regulations concerning the handling of fish from the time of capture to the point of retail
• The ministry will ensure that statistics, information and advice is made freely available to stakeholders.
• Other facilities, such as icing, storage, Jetties and fish markets are to be undertaken by the ministry as well as private enterprise wherever necessary
